Hacking Team has warned that a devastating data breach it suffered will allow its spying tools to be used by criminals and terrorists. "Hack the planet! Hack the planet!"

Implying that it hasn't already been used by hardcore criminals.  Just look at the list of their clients.

The upside is patches will be applied to exploits they knew about and never reported for money; Hacking Team sells weaknesses in code for exploitation and personal gain.
Sounds like karma in action, to me.

The Windows 10 Application Deployment (WinAppDeployCmd) is a command line utility that can be utilized to deploy a Universal Windows app from a Windows 10 PC to any Windows 10 mobile device. So now you just need the people with mobile devices to come visit when they want to install your app

Microsoft believes they have created the next generation of machine learning which they call machine teaching. Rarely is the question asked: Is our machines learning?

Google’s up and coming programming language Go is now available at version 1.5, with one very noticeable change – no more C. "Go go gadget" bootstrapper

Until they support a visual debugger that isn't Eclipse, I won't touch the language.

Maybe they'll move to IntelliJ since that's what they now use for Android development.

Who used Go for C anyways? Go is just another language to use when you are afraid of pointers. I suppose they have some form of pinvoke anyways

Headline is misleading. It just means Go compiler/runtime is now written in Go instead of C, not that Go is a C killer. Go may be intended as that but that's not what the article is about.

I didn't imagine that anyways. But point taken - the title is at least misleading.

Lol, yes. So many tech titles are misleading aren't they? Often just to grab our attention I think.

Shame on me, I guess, to took the bait.

It probably shouldn't have been released to the wild until they had done that; self-hosting is a sign of a "real" language.

Many jobs demand proof that you’ve mastered a particular technology. But is the argument for spending lots of time and money to earn a certification as ironclad as it seems? Do you mean my time getting my MCTT (Microsoft Certified Test Taker) was a waste?

To me, certifications are only for managers that don't have any skill or background themselves. And I will admit, I have thought of doing the CSM certification because it is quick and easy. I believe that someone who is strong academically is more knowledgeable than someone with a few certifications. I'll take someone with a MS over someone with an associates degree or no degree at all if they have comparable experience. It shows they follow through what they have started, understand high-level topics, and are great problem solvers. Lastly, it is too easy to find answers to certifications on the Internet. I've heard that measureup.com pretty much gives you the answers.
I agree with the article that a good interview can show if an applicant has the technical skills and composure to work in an interviewers group.

There are courses today that let you take - and pass - almost any MS certification within 2 months...
It's a joke!!!
I watched some videos at Microsoft Academy and answered all the questions after it, to prove what? That I have a fairly good short-time memory? So I have a certificate that I completed SQL 2012 Reporting Services course with 100% success, but I do nothing about Reporting Services as I never ever used it!
I also completed Advanced Windows Store App Development with HTML5 with the same result - but even you hit me I can't remember where to start with...
All these certifications were at the base of the blow of the hi-tech-bubble around the year 2000, when it became obvious that script-kids with 1-2-3 courses and a dozen of different certifications will not take the industry nowhere...
The only true certificate has two parts: a long-time learned, solid base of knowledge and real-life experience...These two will be combined - in time - into the ability to master different fields and technologies, not the quick-came-quick-goes cerificates we see around...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I believe that certificates can provide evidence that you at least understand the basics of a particular technology and have a good grounding in it. But they can't and shouldn't be seen as replacements for hard won experience from the trenches. They can be seen as a complement to experience, but never as a replacement.

This is a very specific method of reverse engineering for a very specific application. I doubt it will be applicable across the universe...
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

True, but you might be able to take the idea and make another very specific method for another very specific type of application.
